There is a rumor that there will soon be a proclamation banning "Kol Mevaser". Don't think for one second tht this has anything to do with frumkeit or any hashkafah, it is an agenda of some or all of the Yiddish newspapers, or simply a jihad of some meshugener.

I am not here to stick up for "Kol Mevaser", but I can NOT tolerate "bans for personal gain".

Take a look what these reshoim did with the speech by R' Aba Chiya Tauber shlit"a(July 19th at Yeshivah of Spring Valley). The hotline "Kol Dodi Dofek" watered down the whole speech by editing out the most important part, about 4 minutes and 53.5 seconds.

Listen to both clips, the original and the edited. I added a beep to the original, before and after the part deleted in the hotline, and I also added a beep in the edited one where the part is missing.

Shomrim_patrol_car The Borough Park Shomrim have a member who has been accused (but not charged) of pedophilia and accused of rape. Worse yet, the man participated in the search for Leiby Kletzky, driving throughout Borough Park in an SUV, wearing a Shomrim vest, and broadcasting that he was looking for the 8-year-old missing boy.
The alleged pedophile is David Shea Friedman, who own's Friedman's Photography in Borough Park.
A Brooklyn hasidic source told me yesterday that Friedman is "well known" in the community and by rabbis as a pedophile. He told me Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg repeatedly warned about Friedman on his hotline several years ago.
So I called Rabbi Rosenberg and asked about Friedman.
Rabbi Rosenberg told me he did indeed have two reports about Friedman on his hotline several years ago.
Friedman used to be the "candy man" in the Munkatcher Rebbe's synagogue, giving candy to kids, until the rebbe found out what Friedman was allegedly doing to some of those boys in the basement of his synagogue. From that point on, Friedman was banned from going to the basement of the synagogue or using its bathrooms.

This is not Nuchem, this is from a prestigious magazine. Unfortunately, we were sold "Muscovy Ducks" with a "holy" hechsher. Does the name "Finkel" ring a bell?

Kosher Pork in Sunnyside

Posted by Philip Gourevitch

Rabbis saw to it long ago that it’s against the law to have a pig farm on Jewish-owned land in Israel, so Jewish pig-farmers there (perhaps after consulting a legal-loophole-minded rabbi of their own) built their sties on platforms above the land—taking the practice of raising pigs to a whole new level.

But if you want actual Kosher pork—pork spare ribs, pork cutlets, center-cut pork chops, all labeled in Hebrew “Sh’Chita K’shera Beit Yosef” (i.e., kosher)—you get that only in New York, only at the Associated Supermarket at 4407 Greenpoint Avenue, in Sunnyside, Queens, and only for a few hours today, between the time the Israeli artist Oded Hirsch snapped the above photo on his cell phone and it got forwarded to me, and the time I phoned Aris Duran, the supermarket manager, for an explanation.

(07/25/11) BROOKLYN - The kidnapping and murder of Leiby Kletzky has pressured some Brooklyn parents to enroll their kids in a community safety program.

As part of "Operation Safe Child," scores of parents have registered their children with the NYPD. In the event that they ever go missing, the children will have their weight, height, eye color and fingerprints on record. Parents also have the option to pass the information on to a statewide database.
State Sen. Eric Adams (D-20th District) says he wants to make sure more parents know about the campaign. "It's hard to admit that your child can get lost or abducted," Adams said. "But obviously, it can happen."
Anyone looking to register their children can contact their local officials for more information.

Cantor Leibel Blesofsky, has been allegedly abusing young members in various communities. The allegations state as follows:

Mr Blesofsky been molesting young boys aged 13 to 16. Mr Blesofsky brings these kids to his home, shows them pornography, and serves them alcohol. Unfortunately, Leibel has gone all the way with multiple children in... our community.

After finding out that he had been exposed, Leibel left town, and is currently in Miami Beach, if you are a victim of his, or know someone that is, please come forward and help us put this monster away.

An ambulance driver made a disturbing discovery when he pulled into the Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn.

A swastika was keyed into the side of a Hatzolah ambulance, while on a volunteer call in Flatbush. The driver reported the incident to police right away.

Hatzolah is a worldwide volunteer Emergency Medical Service organization that is often based in communities with large Jewish populations.

"It's unfortunate. It's sad," said the driver, who did not want to be identified. "An ambulance is there to help the public and the community. I am very upset about it," said Dr. Chaim Gitelis, who heard the news inside the hospital and couldn't believe it.
A hospital spokesperson tells PIX11 News, "Maimonides Medical Center denounces this act of vandalism. We commend Hatzolah Volunteers for the life-saving work they do every day -- for any and all residents, regardless of race, creed or color."
"I hope whoever did this will be caught and reprimanded. There is no reason for hate," said Dr. Gitelis, as the ambulance pulled away to another call.

Last night, a gathering for teshuvah was held in Boro Park on the wake of the Kletzky tragedy. All the rabbonin had to say was that we should give up internet, blackberrys, immodest dresses worn by women. The main thing they forgot, child molestation, adultery and incest. One speaker, the Sekulener Rebbe's son, did say about molestation, but only by hinting to it. He was afraid to say it, I wonder how many people didn't get the hint. And at the end he said to report to the rabbis. When Jerry Brauner was reported to his father, he said to bring him so he can tell him which Psalms to say, so he will be able to repent.

Reb Nuchem,
My wife and I were listening to the radio coming home motzoei Shabbos. I just couldn't drive from laughter how he looked like he was hired by the molesters. Agudah is the biggest orthodox org. they used political pressure not to make any law which would be bad for molesters. then when he says that you can't go to any rav only one who has knowledge in this area but when was asked to give a name or list of rabonim who have knowledge he couldn't provide even one rav. BIGGEST JOKE OF THE CENTURY.
P.S. Your phone call was his worst nightmare.
a chusid

Agudah did it again. This past Friday afternoon they came out with a statement about reporting molesters, where they practically say nothing new. Basically the rule is, mandated reporter or no, you have to report to a rav. Saturday night, Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zweibel, was on the Zev Brenner show for about an hour, and had noting to answer to the callers, except for repeating "raglayim ledovor", I wonder if Levi Aron meets the criteria of "raglayim ledovor", Since a pair of "raglayim" were found in his fridge? Also notice that "raglayim ledovor" has the same acronym as "rachamono litzlan".

However, Rabbi Aba Chiya Tauber spoke very nicely, this past Shiva asar beTamuz, at Yeshivah of Spring Valley. He related how his grandson and his cousin, escaped abduction by an older man, but no rav wanted to give a heter to report it to the police.

The rosh yeshiva Moshe Green spoke at the same gathering, basically he said that Leiby Kletzky hy"d was butchered as punishment for the arrest of Y. M. Weingarten, and because the heimishe yeshivos curriculum is basically goyish except that they talk a bissel Yiddish. People are calling me saying that he is a big talmid chochom. According to chazal, scholar that has no sense, a carcass is better than him.

He's used to busting joyriders and chop-shop operators, but an NYPD "car geek" is being praised for helping to catch Leiby Kletzky's killer.
When cops hit a roadblock in the search for the 8-year-old boy, they turned to their in-house expert on motors rather than murderers - Detective Tom Burke.
"Call the car geeks!" Assistant Chief Joseph Fox ordered as detectives racked their brains trying to identify the late-model car the Hasidic boy was seen climbing into with a stranger.
Burke was in bed in Long Island when his boss called the night of Tuesday, July 12.
"He asked me if I had heard about the missing Jewish kid," recalled Burke, who can tell a car's make and model just by looking at its hubcaps.
A day and a half of searching for the boy who vanished walking home from camp had proved futile. Then video surveillance surfaced of Leiby getting into a gold-colored car.
Fox wanted Burke to eyeball the vehicle and tell him what it was, pronto.
Burke hitched a ride to Brooklyn with his partner, Detective Emanuel (Manny) Rossi. When they reached the command center in front of Leiby's Borough Park camp, the search for the boy was in full swing and the look on Chief of Detectives Phil Pulaski's face was urgent.
Pulaski directed the car geeks to a computer, where they were shown a grainy video captured on an 18th Ave. car leasing company's security camera.
Burke recalled scribbling the words Japanese and hubcaps.
"Within five seconds, I knew it was a Honda Accord," said Burke, explaining the car's compact size and simple rear design were telltale signs of a 1990s' model.
"They change hubcaps every year," he said. "They are very individual."
Burke grabbed a printout of the fuzzy car and raced to the 66th Precinct stationhouse to compare it with similar models online.
"I make cars into a fingerprint," Burke said. "I look at car lines, the wrap around bumpers and the rocker panel underneath the body. I look for distinctive things."
Within minutes of reaching the stationhouse, Burke remembered that the only year Honda produced a gold-colored Accord like the one in the video was in 1990.
"That's just based on stupid stuff I picked up," Burke said matter-of-factly.
It turned out to be a key clue for Fox and Pulaski.
Forty-five minutes after Burke identified the car, two volunteer searchers spotted a match parked outside the Kensington home of Levi Aron.
"I felt bad when I heard he was dead," Burke said of little Leiby, whom Aron is accused of drugging and butchering.
"I wish things had happened quicker," Burke (below) said. "Maybe if I had seen the video sooner, we could have found him alive. But that's not always possible."rblau@nydailynews.com(Robert Mecea for News)

Detectives hauled out more children's clothes from murder suspect Levi Aron's apartment yesterday and are investigating whether he is a first-time killer, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
The theory is based on 35-year-old Aron's age and the manner in which 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky was suffocated and butchered, the sources said.
Cops took bags marked "kids pants" and "blue child's spoon, pink cup" from the attic apartment and will run the items through the DNA database to see if they match other cases, sources said.
The loser loner stashed the items in the East Second Street home he shared with his father and uncle in Kensington, Brooklyn.
"There were two boxes in a closet, and they appear to have been there for a while," said a source.
They also carried out bags of shirts and jackets and 12 filing boxes.
As cops continued their sweep, Leiby's grief-stricken parents, Itta and Nachman, reflected on the tragedy.
"The traditional seven intense days of mourning [shiva] for our beloved Leiby are complete, but the ache in our hearts will remain forever," they posted on chabad.org.
"We pray that none of you should ever have to live through what we did."
To honor Leiby's memory, they asked people to be kind to their neighbors, show gratitude for the life they live and light a candle on Friday nights to forever mark a place for their son at the Shabbat dinner table.
"We are certain that Leiby is now looking down from heaven and blessing us all," the parents said in their most extensive comments since the tragedy.
Aron's lawyer Pierre Bazille is backing off plans for an insanity defense, noting his client is still undergoing psychiatric treatment at Bellevue Hospital.
The abandoned strategy was first declared by co-counsel Gerard Marrone, who abruptly quit yesterday.
"The allegations were too horrific, and it's not something I wanted to be involved in," he told WABC-TV. "I have three boys. One of my sons is 7."
Aron is charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping and other counts.
Leiby's family yesterday also launched a memorial Web site for the young victim in the hopes of raising $1 million for children and families in need.

Accused child killer Levi Aron force-fed his 8-year-old victim a toxic cocktail of prescription drugs before smothering him with a bath towel, authorities said yesterday.
Leiby Kletzky had several narcotics in his system, including hydrocodone, the schizophrenia drug quetiapine, Tylenol and the muscle relaxant cyclobenzaprine, according to the city medical examiner's autopsy report.
Aron, 35, was slapped yesterday with two counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping and other charges by a Brooklyn grand jury. He faces a possible life sentence without parole if convicted.
"There was an intent to kill, and that's based on the ingestion of the medication," said Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes.
Investigators also spent four hours yesterday scouring newly discovered color surveillance video from a New Jersey gas station that shows Aron escorting Leiby to the bathroom late July 11 -- the last known images of the boy.
They were returning from a Rockland County wedding to which Aron bizarrely took Leiby after allegedly kidnapping him off a Brooklyn street that day.
"It gave me chills in my spine," said an attendant at the Sunoco station on the Palisades Parkway after looking at still images from the video, time-stamped 8:15 p.m. "I know the child is dead. It made me sad."
The footage shows Aron opening his car door for Leiby, and the two walking into the bathroom together.
"The pictures were just the kid and the guy walking behind him," the attendant said. "The man had a hat with glasses. The little boy was dressed like the way they described him when they were looking for him."They were in the facility for only one to two minutes, said a second attendant who saw the video.

"There was no pushing, no nothing. The little kid goes easily," the second attendant said.

The footage then shows them leaving in a Honda, the second attendant said."It just looked like anyone else walking in and out. The child didn't look frightened," the first attendant said.
Later that night, they returned to Aron's attic apartment in Kensington.
The next day, July 12, Aron allegedly bound Leiby and left him "in a captive position" for 12 hours while he went to his plumbing-supply stockboy job.
"The boy had marks on his wrist that indicated at one point he was tied up," said Hynes, who added that Leiby's body showed no signs of sexual abuse.
Aron told cops he killed Leiby when he got home, in a "panic" over the intense search for the boy.
After allegedly smothering Leiby, Aron cut off his feet, placed them in garbage bags and put them in his freezer. He put the rest of the corpse in a suitcase he tossed in a garbage bin two miles away.
Aron was shirtless when cops stormed his apartment in the early hours of July 13. He led police to the body parts and fully confessed, police said.
Cops searching his East Second Street home yesterday removed children's clothing that do not belong to Leiby, police sources said.
But the NYPD said no other victims have been discovered.
"The only victim we are aware of is Leiby himself," said police spokesman Paul Browne.
Leiby stumbled into Aron on July 11, when he got lost after his parents let him walk alone from his Borough Park day camp for the first time.

Officials said that when Leiby asked Aron for directions, the predator instead drove off with the boy to the wedding.

The shocking new evidence was revealed hours after the Kletzky family walked a symbolic lap around their block to complete the traditional seven-day mourning period of shiva.

The Post says that "…Aron allegedly bound Leiby and left him 'in a captive position' for 12 hours while he went to his plumbing-supply stockboy job. 'The boy had marks on his wrist that indicated at one point he was tied up,' said Hynes, who added that Leiby's body showed no signs of sexual abuse." But other reports say that Leiby may have remained in Aron's attic apartment voluntarily while Aron went to work that Tuesday, and all available information seems to show that Leiby went with Aron voluntarily after meeting him on the street and stayed with him voluntarily through Tuesday afternoon. Aron – whose bizarre confession about taking the boy to a wedding in Monsey and then leaving him in his apartment Tuesday to watch TV while Aron worked was initially discounted by police – has turned out to have much more truth in it than anyone would have believed. Aron also told police that he took Leiby from that street corner to go find the Jewish bookstore where Leiby was supposed to meet his mother who was supposed to be waiting for him outside it, but they could not find the store. Eichler's – the bookstore where Leiby was supposed to meet his mother – is both huge and a neighborhood landmark, and there aren't many [such large] bookstores in Borough Park. This part of Aron's story doesn't appear to make sense unless Leiby's mother wasn't waiting for him on the corner in front of Eichler's, which seems unlikely – but then so did taking the Leiby to the Monsey wedding. There is clearly more to this story than the DA and NYPD have told us, and I think the idea that this was a stranger abduction is becoming less and less plausible the more we know. [Looking at the first video, where Aron still has a longish beard, also made me wonder, if this was an abduction]

I have been asking more or less the same questions, plus some more:

Since when does a 9 year old boy need to be escorted to the toilet? We were taught that you never enter the toilet together with someone else. IN ANY YESHIVAH THIS WOULD HAVE CONSTITUTED A SEVERE OFFENSE.

Since when does a Yeshivah boy watch TV? For a Chasidish kid this is almost like eating pork. And remember, we are talking about the frummest kid in class (remember, he davened the longest).

And for those of you that had the privilege to attend Satmar Yeshivah two score years ago, do you remember Rabbi חנוך שלום Hugo Gluck knocking on the toilet doors and asking "bist alein? {are you alone?)

It was reported in the media, that the butcher Levi Aron tried to snatch another child from the neighborhood. If the mother of that kid would have reported him to the police, Leiby Kletzky would still be alive today. Such evil persons as Moshe Green, Shmuel Kamenetsky and Rabbi Perlow and other reshoim in the Agudah, and tell us: you have to report only to a rabbi.
